Using RouterOS to VLAN your network

Good day everyone,

I’m new to Mikrotik and very new to VLANs. I have read through a number of posts here and am about to start writing up my own file to implement in my home network. I am still in the learning curve of Mikrotik language so I just wanted to ask about a few of the things stated within the how-tos.

I have a RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD so I am trying to implement the method suggested in post #3. While reading through the RouterSwitchAP.rsc, there are a few things I am not sure how to do.
While configuring:
Access Ports: “L3 switching”:
What does it mean to [find vlan-ids=10]?
IP Addressing & Routing: DNS Server:
Do I put my preferred DNS here or do I put 9.9.9.9?
IP Services: /ip dhcp-server network add address=10.0.10.0/24 dns-server=192.168.0.1 gateway=10.0.10.1
How is the dns-server=x.x.0.1? Is this defined somewhere that I missed? I haven’t loaded the RB without default config yet so I am a bit uncertain how this setting works from a fresh start.

This is about as far as I’ve gotten through the file so far before I had enough questions that I feel comfortably lost. Figured I’d post now and get more knowledge before moving forward.

I more than likely will need to post my own topic to get more advice on how to proceed with the way I want my network laid out, but I wan to at least understand this current topic as much as I can before doing so. I’ve attached my network diagram (very skeleton) for ref.

Thank you so much in advance!! I’ve been learning so much already and have mustered enough courage to at least post something here in hopes that you fine folk can lend some expertise.

I posted a new topic here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/new-home-setup-vlans/137961/1

Thanks guys!
